Courses @ PKU Shenzhen
Analysis and Design of VLSI Circuits (超大规模集成电路分析与设计)
The students will learn how to manage the complexity of today’s digital systems and very large scale integrated circuits. Starting from a solid understanding of the operation of electronic devices (diodes and transistors) and an in-depth study of the nucleus of digital design (inverters), the students will move to more complex modules such as logic gates, registers, arithmetic units, and memories, and make design decisions from a system’s perspective. The students will be able to identify the dominant design parameters, and what aspects of the design he has to focus on. Global circuit effects such as timing, interconnect, and power consumption have to be taken into account. Full-custom integrated circuit design flow will be presented and practiced with the industrial standard Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools.

Low Power CMOS IC Design (低功耗CMOS IC设计)
The students will learn the design trajectory to implement complex Systems on a Chip. Emphasis lies on design approaches to improve the overall system performance in terms of robustness, power-delay product, and hands-on experience to design an integrated circuit using commercial EDA tools. The students will understand the various tradeoffs between area, time, power, cost, and design effort, and also have the basic knowledge and hands-on experience to carry out both the front and back end stages of implementing circuits on silicon.
